Psalm 8
1 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies, that you may silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers,
The moon and stars which You have ordained
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet.
7 All sheep and oxen --
Even the beasts of the field
8 The birds of the air and the fish of the sea,
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
John 1:14-18
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

Romans 12:9
9Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

II Peter 1:2-4
2Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Psalm 19
1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.
2Day unto day utters speech, and night reveals knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language where the voice is not heard.
4Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, 5which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices like a strong man to run his race.
6Its rising is from one end of heaven and its circuit to the other end; and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.
12Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.
13Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

23 These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to show partiality in judgement. 24 He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” him the people will curse; nations will abhor him. 25 But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
Romans 13:1-4
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

You shall not do injustice in judgement. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to one and despise the other.

6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
